About this listen

A secret buried in the Antarctic. A puzzle unsolved for thousands of years.

And a Brooklyn-born master gunnery sergeant who's royally pissed that he has to babysit the researchers sent to figure it all out. Patrick "Wic" Finnegan's last op as a Marine Raider before retirement sends him to the frozen Ellsworth Subglacial Highlands. The only reason he's here? He owes a favor to an old friend, but that doesn't mean he has to like it.

When Wic finally sees what the team has uncovered, he can't believe his eyes, nor is he prepared for the violence to come. Soon, the portal opens and unleashes a storm of unbridled fury upon humanity.

From the Antarctic tundra to the streets of Manhattan, Wic and his team will be pushed to their limits as they fight to hold back Earth's ultimate threat. The odds are against them. Governments are toppling. And the Earth is falling into ruin.

Join best-selling authors Christopher Hopper and J.N. Chaney on what audiences call a "nonstop, break-neck thrill ride into metaspace". For fans of District 9, Expeditionary Force, and Galaxy's Edge, this is one military sci-fi thriller you won't be able to put down, and the official beginning to the hit series Ruins of the Galaxy.

OK, as usual a great novel from Hopper & Chaney coupled with the narration of Bray and I always look forward to their new work. BUT, you really need to do yourself a favour & listen all the way to the end...... Just rounds the book out beautifully.

Awesome novel

... but then you find yourself immersed in a compelling narrative, flawed characters, loss, gain and growth. Holy crap, I'm in love with this story and wish to hear more about the exploits of this central squad and their rag-tag group of misfits.
I do find myself drawn to the Military Sci-Fi genre, but not many narrators can pull off the nuances and inflections that R.C. Bray brings to the game. As a stand alone story this book is great, with R.C. Bray providing voice and narration, the story comes to life and hooks you completely.
Hooper and Chaney, I can't wait for more of your collaboration!

I honestly only bough this for R.C. Bray.......

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Very original and so funny. Lost count of how many times I laughed Have an entirely new respect for Flounder now. The action just kept rolling nice not to have to listen to fillers which seem to be common these days

The most hilarious Earth Invasion ever

Once again these two awesome authors have made me laugh out loud and combined with the undisputed champion of voice acting Sir R.C.Bray this is a book I suggest you not scroll past!
If you liked the witty pompous Skippy The Magnificent from Ruins of the Galaxy then you will definitely love this one.
Please please please Mr Hopper and Mr Chaney don't make us wait too long for the next instalment of this series.

Absolute master piece
